“…However, the balance of the findings would deny any positive association between trade performance and industry concentration. Indeed, Glejser, Jacquemin and Petit (1980), Pickering and Sheldon (1984) and Ratnayake (1990Ratnayake ( , 1994 report negative associations, and Utton and Morgan (1983, p. 109) remained sceptical after one of the most detailed investigations of this relationship. Owen (1973) did find trade performance improving with concentration but only up to concentration levels of 50%.…”

This paper reports on the international trade performance of New Zealand manufacturing industries over 1985-1995, a period during which substantial trade liberalisation came into effect. Some industries did much better than others in terms of export growth and/or import substitution, and this variation is related to industry concentration. While very high levels of industry concentration may once have been necessary for enhanced trade performance, the analysis presented in this paper suggests that this may no longer be the case.

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the short and long-run impact of devaluation of the trade balance of Ethiopia. Devaluation has been used as a measure to improve trade balance. The data was collected from the World Bank for the years 1990 to 2017 and analyzed by applying an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach and an Error Correction Model (ECM). The empirical findings show that the long run Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) significantly and negatively correlated with the trade balance. The error correction coefficient which shows the adjustment of disequilibrium in the subsequent year is also significant. The empirical result indicated that devaluation of the Birr can improve the trade balance of Ethiopia. However, in reality, the trade balance of Ethiopia is not improved through a consecutive Birr devaluation. This may be resulted from the non-responsiveness of import to devaluation of the Birr, shortage of import substitute domestic products and the dependency of exports on primary agriculture products.
